Do we have any evidence that it was safe or socially acceptable for a woman to travel without being accompanied by a male member of her household (husband, father, slaves)? I have searched for a study on this question, but have found almost nothing, so I was wondering if you have come across anything. Is Thecla's experience of sexual harassment (whether historical or fictional) indicative of the dangers of travel for women at the time? And if travel was impractical for women, would this explain why Jesus, the 12, all the envoys, and almost all the apostles were men, whereas many (most?) of the benefactors of the church were women?Richard Fellowshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06777460488456330838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6536854065433425156.post-46547930063563220212011-09-15T09:59:53.210-07:002011-09-15T09:59:53.210-07:00really looking forward to this!really looking forward to this!Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04405344181636487394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6536854065433425156.post-32667529923130886822011-08-31T23:47:54.367-07:002011-08-31T23:47:54.367-07:00I am really looking forward to reading your book! ...I am really looking forward to reading your book!
